knolling flat lay photography of {{item_collection}}, every object arranged parallel or at perfect 90-degree angles with even spacing between items, photographed directly from above at exactly 90 degrees, on a {{surface}} surface, large soft overhead light source producing nearly shadowless illumination with only the faintest contact shadows, all items in the same sharp focal plane, largest item anchoring one corner and sizes descending diagonally, satisfying obsessive order, commercial catalog quality, no hands, no text --ar 4:5 --style raw --v 7 Layout notes: - List {{item_collection}} as 6–12 CONCRETE items with materials and colors: "a tan leather wallet, brushed steel multitool, olive canvas pouch, orange-capped pill bottle..." — vague collections ("travel gear") produce object soup. - The size-descent instruction gives the model a composition rule; without it, knolling layouts scatter randomly and lose the genre's signature calm. - {{surface}} sets the brand temperature: "pale birch plywood" (Scandinavian), "matte black steel" (technical), "warm linen" (lifestyle). Keep it uniform — textured surfaces with strong patterns fight the grid. - Exactly-overhead matters: if perspective creeps in, prepend "orthographic top-down view". - Also works verbatim on FLUX 1.1 (drop the -- parameters); FLUX keeps item counts more faithfully when the list is long.
